Chapter 239

"Because I hate him~"

"I heard that this year, Hanamiya Makoto used some method; after the supervisor of Kirisaki Daiichi withdrew, he took over as the team's supervisor himself."

Come to think of it...

This was supposed to happen during the Winter Cup...

Now it's happening early.

But it doesn't matter; it's rare to run into each other, and I was just worried you wouldn't be here~

Dakou Longzhi thought for a moment, "Indeed, with the strength of the Five Generals, they shouldn't fail to even reach the national tournament; just look at those three guys from Luoshan."

"I was wondering why I hadn't heard any news about the other two of the Five Generals last year; it turns out it was because of this."

Just then, Yukimiya Kazuma locked eyes with Hanamiya Makoto, who had just stepped onto the court, and immediately offered a 'well-behaved' smile to the other.

'If he doesn't make a move, fine; but if he dares to harbor any ill intentions toward us, then we might as well just kill him..'

Hanamiya Makoto, whose school is nicknamed the 'Young Master School' in the streets, also smiled with full propriety.

'Yukimiya Kazuma? No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like a well-behaved good kid; interesting~'

Izumizaka High School exits the court.

They cross paths with Kirisaki Daiichi, who is just stepping onto the court.

And for these two teams to truly face off, they must wait until the next round, because there is still the poor soul in the following round, trembling in fear.

Yamanaishi High School.

In the Round of 16 match, Yamanaishi High School also secured victory and advanced to the next round.

However, they had no mood for joy at all, because in the upcoming match, they would face the Western King, Izumizaka.

"Izumizaka again..."

A third-year player from Yamanaishi High School suddenly recalled the scenes from last year and the year before, where the team lost consecutively to Izumizaka; instantly, feelings of resentment surged rapidly in his heart.

The coach of Yamanaishi High School understood his own team's current mindset very well; after all, anyone who has been eliminated by the same team in the qualifiers for two consecutive years, and now faces them for a third time, would find it hard to keep their mindset stable.

But...

Thinking of Izumizaka's situation this year, and that terrifying Yukimiya Kazuma, the coach of Yamanaishi High School didn't even know how to speak to his team members at this moment.

He feared that the words he spoke would cause everyone's belief to collapse prematurely, before the match even began.

"It's not just that..."

Upon hearing this, the members of Yamanaishi High School felt a jolt in their hearts; "Coach, is there some other bad news?"

Coach: "..."

After a moment of silence, the coach finally spoke: "Izumizaka this year is extremely strong; they have changed their entire starting lineup, switching to a full first-year roster."

"But do not underestimate the opponent; they have their reasons for doing this."

"..."

"Do you know what the score was between Izumizaka and Meijo Academy?"

The group of Yamanaishi High School members, upon hearing 'full first-year starting lineup', felt a bit of secret joy, but seeing the coach's Grave expression, everyone's hearts suddenly tightened.

"M-much..."

"How much?"

"135:31."

"Among them..."

"The first-year ace wearing jersey number 4, Yukimiya Kazuma, in the first quarter, almost single-handedly prevented Meijo from scoring a single point."

"Until he left the court after a dunk that destroyed the backboard..."

"The score of the first quarter was terrifying..."

"35:0."

"If he played the entire game at full strength, it is hard to imagine what terrifying result would occur."
